Katihcd 7th January, 183.9. TO THE EDITORS. Washington, February 24, 1839. Gentlemen,: On the 20th instant, my attention was called to a publication in the Globe, signedA Duncan, in which I am abused I and denounced, in language almost as violent as the people of the Southern States have been by the same individual. This communication has created no other sensations with me than those of ineffable disgust and humiliation disgust, to see such an" article paraded before the world, in the official paper, (in the paper support ed by Executive patronage ;) and humilia tion, that such a man should be a member of Congress. I do not wish the author of this article any other punishment than that the People should read his communication in the Globe of the 19th of February, 1839. .1 had not been in the House, on the morning of the 20th instant, more than an hour, before the annexed letter, signed by my friendS. S. Prentiss and others, was handed to me. After the receipt of this, several other statements were offered me, and I requested several gentlemen to give me their opinions in regard to the correct ness of the report of the speech. I must ask the favor ef you to publish these letters with this note. The letters are from gentlemen who advocate the Sub Treasury from Whigs and from Con servatives. Wishisgtow, February 20, 1839. Dia Sib Our attention has been called to a publication in tbo Globe of this day, signed A. Duncan, which denies that the speech as publish ed in the National Intelligencer, purporting to be your Reply to Dr. Duncan, -of Ohio," on the,17th day of January, 1839, wasevei delivered, by you in the House of Representatives. We were pres ent when you replied to Dr. Duncan on that day, and heard your remarks through. and feel bound in justice and tiuth to tender to you our testimony that the said report of your remarks in reply to Dr. Duncan, on the 17ih of January, 1839, is, accord ing to our recollection, in which we are confident, more failhful and correct than reports of speeches in the House of Representatives are usually ; that it is nearly, if not quite, verbatim correct; and if incorrect in any respect, it is less severe than were your remarks on the floor. Wc add, also, that your remarks seemed to be extemporaneous, and at the moment you regretted that you had not a copy of Dr. Duncan's letter on the subject of abo lition; and it was, we thought, from the expression of this regret that Mr. Slade (of Vermont) openly handed you a copy of that letter, from which you read several extracts. We bog leave to express to you our individual respect and esteem, and are, most truly, your friends. S. S. PRENTISS. RICHARD CHEATHAM. JOHN BELL. CHARLES NAYLOR. VM. KEY BOND. T. J. WORD, HENRY A. WISE. JOHN CALHOON. WADDY THOMPSON, Jh. E. J. SHIELDS. D. JENIFER. F. MALLORY. S.T.SAWYER. Hon. Ed. Stahit, House of Heps. House of Repretentatires, Feb. 1, 1839. Dear Sin : I listened very attentively to your speech in reply to Mr. Duncan, on the 17th of Jan. last, and have since that time read the report of it in the National Intelligencer. It strikes meThat the speech is' reported with accuracy unusual in Congressional debates, and especially in those por tions of it which personally referred to the member from Ohio. Indeed, in regard to that portion of the printed speech I have remarked some mitigation of the severity of the phrases used. If you consider it important that I should give my recollection of the time occupied by you in speaking on that occasion, I can say that my im pression is that you occupied the floor but little short of an hour. You spoke some short ii me be fore a copy of Mr. Duncan's answers to certain in terrogatories respecting abolition could be found in the House ; and after a copy of them had been pro cured, you read large extracts from them, and com mented upon them in the manner in which your remarks appear in your speech. J ruiy, yours, J. P. KENNEDY. Hon. Edward Stanly. House of Representatives Feb. 20, 1839. Sin: In answer to your note just handed me, I state that I heard your speecn delivered in the House on the 17th ult. in reply to Mr. Duncan, and have also read it in the National Intelligencer, and that it appears to nic to be, in substance, cor rectly reported. Respectfully, yous,, 8. GRANTLAND. Hon. Edward Stanly. I fully concur with xnj friend and colleagae, Mr. Honkins. in the above statement I recollect dhw tinctly most of the striking remarks in the published speech A. STUAKJ'. Being called upon by Mr Stanly to say whether I heard bis speech in reply to Dr Duncan and whether the report, of it in the ' National InteWgen- I cer is accurate, I state that I.heahl the speech and have read the report of it, and believe the report J.O be in substance faithfully written out, according to my best recollection. J. GARLAND. Washington Feb 21,1839, Sir : I see a publication in the Globe of the 19th Februajy, 1839, signed A. Duncan, denying that you made the remaks in the House of Representa tives, which were published in the National Intelli gencer iu answer to Dr. Duncan, on the appoint ment of a committee to investigate the defalcations at the custom-house in the city., of New York.--When Mr. Stanly began his speect, I was sitting near the fire-place in the South-western part of the House, reading some papers, and did not distinctly hear his remarks, but after a short time, my atten tion was attracted by Mr. Stanly stating his inten tion to comment upon a letter in relation to aboli tion, which purported to be written by Dr. Don can. I then left my distant position and drew near enough to hear Mr. Stanly make his remarks on that letter, which I had seen and read in the newspapers. After I took my seat on the inside of the bar and near the vacant space in front of the Speaker's chair, I heard all the remarks of Mr. Stanly delivered in the continuation of his speech on that occasion. I attended particularly to the passages and extracts which he read from Dr. Duncan's let ter which he held in his hand, and to the comments and remarks of Mr. Stanly, opon the opinions and sentiments expressed in the letter. When the re marks of Mr. Stanly in answer to J)u Duncan's speech were published in the National Intelligencer in the early part of this month, I read them. I be lieved then, and believe now, that many of the very j words and sentences found in the printed speech were used by Mr. Stanly in his verbal speech in debate; and that the speech published is substan tially the same which wa delivered in the House of' Representatives. Respectfully, JAMES GRAHAM. To the Hon. Edward Staklt. Washigtojt, Feb. 21, 1839. Dear Sin : By comparing your speech as pub lished with our recollection of it as delivered, in re ply to the Hon. A. Duncan of Ohio, on the 17th ult. we feel no hesitation in stating that it has been -correctly reported'; and by this we do not mean merely to say that the report embodies the thoughts and sentiments conveyed by you while speaking, but preserves throughout, with remarkable fidelity, the very words and phrases in which yeu uttered them. Very respectfully, -t A. H. SHEPPERD. EDMUND DE BERRY. To the Hon. E. Stanlt. I did not hear the whole of Mr. Stanly's speech. I heard distinctly, I suppose, two-thirds, perhaps three-fourths of it ; and I say that, it is, I believe, so far as I did hear, very correctly reported in the printed copy as much so, I think, as any other speech I have heard or read. LEWIS WILLIAMS. House of Representatives, Feb. 21, 1839. Mr Dear Sih.- I was in my seat in the House, during the delivery of your speech of the 17th of January. I have endeavored to recall to my mind my first impressions of the length n( time you were on the floor, and confident lj say that it was -from three-quarters of an hour to an hour. As regards the fidelity with which the speech has been reported, I repeat what I have frequently said, that I never have seen a printed speech more true to the oral one than yours, and this opinion I know to be coinci dent with that of several members of our House, who, like myself, had the pleasure of being present when you spoke. " . . As regards the communication between you and Mr. Slade, I considered it a mere incident, -unworthy of particular remark. You, it the course of your speech, when commenting upon Dr. Duncan's letter, expressed a regret that you did not have it at hand. I then saw Mr. Slade (who happened to be sitting near you) proffer a paper to you, which I presume was the letter, because you read extracts from it as" from that letter. I observed no other communica tion between you and him ; and I may be permitted to add that if any thing to your injury with your Constituents can be manufactured out of such merely incidenal circumstances, I shall be much mistaken in their character. I am, dear sir, very respectfully, yours, J. JACKSON, of Georgia. To the Hon.EdwardStanly. House of Representatives, Feb. 21, 1839. Sir: Youi note ofyesterday has just been hand ed to me, and, in reply to it, I say- that I hearj your speech, delivered in this House on the I7lh ultimo, in answer to Dr. Duncan, of Ohio, and have since read it as published in pamphlet foim and in the National Intelligencer ; and. whi'st my recollection of particular remarks made in this House is perhaps not as good as many others, I must say that I thought your speech, as delivered, quite as severe as the published remarks, and I think have rarely seen a speech more faithfully reportedl according to my best recollection. Very respectfully, I am your ob't servant. ' , G. W. HOPKINS. Hon. E Stanly. From the distance at which I sat from Mr. Stan ly's seat, I could not hear him distinctly, bat from what I did hear, 1 have no hesitation in giving it as my opinion that the speech as reported is correctly given. I have never before heard its correctness questioned. A. RENCHER. I have read the foregoing s'atement of Messrs. Shepperd and Deberry, and fully concur with them in opinion. JOHN W. CROCKETT. Sir : You did me the honor to addrecs to me a note, enclosing the rough notes of your speech in regard to Mr. Duncan's letter on the subject of ab olition, taken by me at the time, and from which you afterwards wrote out the speech as since pub lished with a request that I would compare the published speech with the notes, and then say whether it did not correspond with them and did not follow the track which those notes indicated as having been taken by you when speaking. I have complied with your request, and feel no hesitation in saying that it does. Candor leads me further to say that the speech very fully agrees with my rec ollection of it, as delivered ; that it is much less extended than is usual when members write out their speeches from Reporters' notes; and that you have not inserted in the published speech all that was spoken in the House. As to the time occupied in its delivery, if you said,' as I think you did, that you had occupied but fifteen minutes, I am persuaded you were unconscious of the lapse of time. My impression is that you spoke, in all, in cluding the reading of extracts from the letter, at least half an hour. , You are at liberty to make what use you please of the above, which a sense of justice induces me to furnish at your request, but I rray, at the same time8, that I may not ledrawnn into the very un pleasant controversy between yourself and Mr Duncan further than sheer necessity. shall demand. With sincere regard, I am, sir, your obt' serv't. ARTHUR JO. STANSBURY, Reporter for the National Intelligencer. Hon. Mr. Staslt. The letter published in the Globe of the 19th instant, affords much material for comment. Besides the misstatements as to the correctness of the reported speech, others are very apparent. But I cannot deliBej-ately condescend to expose this in dividual, who is already punished more thafi he can bear. I cannot believe he is in earnest in using such harsh epithets to wards me. 'Hfrno doubt intended to speak of me as he "did of slavery, as it exists in "thd slave States in our Union," merely "in the abstract!" He has presented abolition petitions since he voted on the Atherton resolutions. He is a democratic Van Bu ren friend of the South ; and of course he is willing to let slavery continue in this District and the States he only wishes to abolish it ' in the abstract." Self-respeet, regard for the opinions of ray friends, respect for my constituents all forbid that I sLould condescend to no tice the author ot such a communica tion. , i I owe an apology to the gentlemen whose respect I possess and prize, for hav ing noticed this individual at all. v I know it was a contest "in which I could gain no. laurels. But he had been constituted the defender of the' Administration; the speech-maker, "by authority," of the par ty; the libeller, of Southern institutions He had attended the caucus, with the Dem ocratic Esaus the exclusive friends of the South with the monopolizers of all the chivalry in our land ; and I availed my self of the opportunity; I submitted to the disagreeable necessity of usinff the "bodkin and shears" upon him, for the purpose of exposing the southern humbugging chival ry democrats. When he spoke of 'Cresers and Her, lus, Ass-yria, cleaning stables, hicj;CU" broom," &c, a friend of mine pcrcp 0" me writing down what he said, and be!I me not to notice him, asking me, ''Do"J consider trim, a gentleman ?"
